A Tennessee lawmaker is proposing a change that could affect the way evictions are handled in Memphis. The proposed bill aims to ban the livestreaming of eviction proceedings, with lawmakers arguing it promotes dignity and safety for those involved.
The bill’s sponsor, Antonio Parkinson, says “eviction is a legal process — not entertainment content.” This proposal seeks to address concerns about the emotional impact of publicly broadcasting evictions on those affected.
